LOCAL QUIZ AND GAME SHOWS

WEWS/5 in Cleveland has had "Academic Challenge" for decades. I believe it's a derivative of the "It's Academic" franchise.

It runs on Saturday evenings, and is generally hosted by one of the station's weather forecasters. As such, Don Webster hosted it for much of its early run, and weekend weather anchor Jason Nicholas hosts it now.
 
For countless years until the early '90s, WYES (New Orleans) had "Varsity Quiz Bowl", hosted by the late Mel Leavitt and later former WDSU weatherman Dan Milham. Though mostly N.O. area high schools were on there, so were a few from the Mississippi Gulf Coast since WYES is seen on cable there along with Mississippi Public Broadcasting.

Here in Alaska, I remember "Ask An Alaskan" from KYUK Bethel in the mid-'80s which was broadcast statewide on fellow PBS stations KUAC, KAKM, and KTOO.
